This one lowkey reminds me of myself in Bangladesh loll. I must’ve predicted this ? except how amazing would it have been if it were a rickshaw and not a van I was holding.

Nothing like a big platter of homemade biryani to make my family smile. There's a half dozen spices, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, caramelized onion, and even a sprinkle of lovely, lovely rose water. Trust me ... It's waaaay possible to make this epic feast at home. To get you started, I loaded up several helpful tips and tricks along with the recipe on #GlobalTableAdventure (look up Vegetable Biryani under "Cook"). My number one tip to keep from losing your mind? Mise en place - prepping all ingredients before you cook a single thing makes this recipe FUN.

It's #internationalliteracyday on 8th September and so we've been speaking to some teachers at @teachforindia to understand the challenges of getting kids interested in books and reading.
Today @amalaya01, a teacher at Dharavi Transit Camp shares some pictures from her class, and of her kids, and their reading classes.
Are you a teacher? Share memories of the books your kids love with us, on [email protected] or in the comments!

Rickshaw Girl by Mitali Perkins (Author) and Jamie Hogan (Illustrator).
A ten year old Bangladeshi girl tries to help her family with her talent for painting. Through her kind actions, the reader may learn a positive way to overcome their difficulties.
This story is appropriate for readers in grades 2 to 5. This book was selected by the New York Public Library as one of the best 100 children's books of the past 100 years!

A complete wow book. We were browsing the website of Pune-based publisher Jyotsna Prakashan and spotted a name we knew - Mitali Perkins! This is an early book of hers - about a young girl desperate to help earn money for her family, but constrained by some of the limits placed on women in her Bangladeshi community. We loved the gentle plot and beautiful resolution, plus the characters. A truly wonderful feminist tale for early readers venturing on to chapter books #chapterbook #feministread #bangladesh #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #mitaliperkins #rickshaw #girlchild #jyotsnaprakashan #jamiehogan @mitaliperkins

Real life is showing up in our grammar lessons! ? Of course, I’m way more impressed with Daddy’s carpentry skills than G8. ? #hewittlightningliterature @hewittonline

Monday morning. First we get dressed. Then we get back in bed and do some serious reading. Eventually we leave the house to go to school, telling hilarious knock knock jokes on the way.

Happy Siblings Day to all those big sisters ❤️ Blessed that my Bonnie is there to show me how it’s done! And @mitaliperkins who writes soulful sisters everytime. Takes one to know one ? #siblinglove #siblingsday #sisterhood #girlpower #bangladesh #kidlitart #india #childrensbooks #charlesbridge #illustration #drawing #jamiehoganillustration #family

"The lotus flower, grows in the deep and dirty mud, far away from the sun...but sooner or later it reaches the light becoming the most beautiful flower ever...and it stays beautiful and pure no matter what the external conditions are. ..We should all follow her example. .and try to shine even if is cloudy...to stay connected and peaceful on a busy city is a big spiritual test...Is possible, just remember the lotus flower. .#padmasana#lotusflower# #yogaofthemat#yogaeverywhere#yoga#yogainthecity #yogini #yogalifestyle #yogalove #iloveyoga #yogaeveryday #padmasana #lotuspose #asana
